Is this one that's been "Arriving soon" for about a year on eBay? :confused:

It has been advertised for about 12 months off & on always with the same one photo always arriving soon. It was last advertised about 5 months ago on ebay. Quite strange.

I've gone back 12 months in the For Sales threads and Ziltch. Yes, a link from MrDoodles would help.

Is this the first time in a bonafide garage?

£8K for a 74,000 miler.

Is that realistic? It's too high for a ZT, but i don't really watch 75 prices to be honest.

As it seems relvant here too, as it is somewhat similar, 672 is for sale as well, £3k cheaper, but 99k miles and higher VED as it is a 56 plate (http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201243489862467/sort/default/usedcars/engine-size-cars/4l_to_4-9l/model/75/make/rover/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/1500/page/1/postcode/de143nz?logcode=p).

You don't REALLY want me to comment on that do you? :confused:

I was after a comment from someone who knows if 75s sell for significantly more than ZTs.... if that's something you know, then yes, if it's not perhaps someone who does know will comment

Where is "Little Poland" I googled it and got: Małopolska. Is that correct?

Wrong Andy...................it's Spalding I believe :)

You didn't use the maps in the iPhone 5 by any chance ?? :)

Well obviously there aren't huge numbers of cars being sold to compare values, but from the few I've seen, a 75 V8, seems to be making around £500 more than the equivalent specced ZT! :)

Hope that helps! :)

Hope that helps! :)

Yea, that does, thanks.

Suprises me, I would have thought the rarity would make for a bigger difference. Having said that my preference would always be a ZT for the handling, manual box, and sports seats.

Me too, but there doesn't seem to be a big difference for the very reasons you have listed! :)

Suppose a 75 V8 Contempory SE would be closest! :)

I've seen this V8 being driven around by me during the summer and was parked outside their offices when I went to view an MGZT v8 in black. According to their website it says its been his car since mid 2012 and now its up for sale?? He has another I see on Autotrader. I'm not too knowledgeable on the 75 v8 prices but seems to me that such a rare car in terms of numbers built must make it more valuable than an MG, to a collector anyway? I did go an look at a Contempory model down south recently with a view to buying for the future and it wasnt for me as it was a poor mans MGZT.
